Mobilizing at the Borders of Europe? The Activist Construction of the Migration Issue in Sicily (1980-2010) Sicily and the small island of Lampedusa, which is part of it, are today associated with images of migrants arriving by sea, shipwrecks and death. Yet it is only recently that immigration has become a political issue and object of mobilization on these border islands. This article studies the process by which immigration was politicized in Sicily from the point of view of the dynamics of pro-migrant mobilizations from the mid-1980s to the late 2000s. To that end, I consider the emergence and consolidation of immigration as an issue for activists in a region of traditional emigration that has been transformed into a symbol for Europe's border and where social and contentious dynamics were long structured around the mafia. I examine the various generations of actors who contributed to constructing the migrant cause in Sicily, set these protest dynamics in their local context and examine the manner in which the specificities of the Sicilian territory are linked with the national and European levels.
